Re: surgery on monday--- concerned about weightloss+kissing

[Guest guest]

Before I left the hospital, I was scheduled for a consultation with

two dietitians.

My own experience was not particularly helpful. I'd read and studied,

and knew more about what to take in than they did, I discovered. But

I hope that is the exception, rather than the rule.

I also challenged them to taste and/or eat some of what had been

served me as my first " meal. " It was soooo salty I couldn't get most

of it down. They declined the opportunity.

I'd bet you can also schedule your own appointment with a dietitian

or nutritionist, either in the hospital or elsewhere.
